At around 6pm on 18 March 2015, attracted by the prospect of history and an Official Announcement, both of which which never arrived, I waited with a congregation of journalists, cameramen, onlookers, patients, visitors and health workers in front of the lifts and security gates in Block 1 of Singapore General Hospital. I left at around 940pm. These are the images I took.

"All I have is a voiceTo undo the folded lie,The romantic lie in the brainOf the sensual man-in-the-street And the lie of AuthorityWhose buildings grope the sky: There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone;Hunger allows no choiceTo the citizen or the police;We must love one another or die.
